changing from deep to shallow and cranking in laydowns

[wallywallace]

got a BOAT, so my question is,if i am fishing deep, then want to go shallow say closer to the shore off a point. does it matter if i still use deep divers, i mean say it is 6 foot deep and i am using a 10 foot diver, compared to changing lures and hoping your 6 foot diver gets 6 feet, You know your 10 will. I hope this makes sense. I know I am notorious for making dumb @$$ posts, but just wondering... second ??, say if the water around the lay down is 8 foot, but you want to run threw the trees and brush, do you use a shallow runner just to bump in to the brush because you dont want hit the bottem, right?
